Dan says,

Here is a list of the ingredients in the Neutrogena Moisture SPF 15 (which IS non-comedogenic):

Purified Water, Octyldodecyl Neopentanotate, Glycerin, Emulsifying Wax N.f., Glyceryl Stearate, PEG 100 Stearate, Dimethicone, Triethanolamine, Diazolidinyl Urea, Methylparaben, Ethylparaben, Propylparaben, Carbomer

So what I'm gettin at is this: I would think that Dimethicone, which is the main ingredient in ScarZone - right? if you are using ScarZone, could you check the ingredients? - is non-comedogenic; otherwise, the Neut. Mois. SPF 15 would be comedogenic.

What do y'all think?

I just picked up some ScarZone.. here are the ingredients. I was wondering if they are comedogenic, too.. I don't know enough about all the ingredients, though..they are new to me.

ACTIVE INGREDIENTS:
Octinoxate 7.50%----Sunscreen
Zinx Oxide 3.93%----Sunscreen
Dimethicone (Silicone) 4.00%----Skin Protectant

INACTIVE INGREDIENTS:
Water, Hydrogenated Polydecene, Peg-30 Dipolyhydoxystearate, Cyclopentasiloxane, Peg/PPG-20/15 Dimethicone, Peg-22/Dodecyl Glycol, Copolymer, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Peg-8, Hydrogenated castor oil, Cetyl dimethicone, Sodium Chloride, Butylene Glycol, Allium Cepa (onion), Bulb Extract, Silica, DmDm Hydantoin, Tocopheryl Acetate, Lauryl Glucoside, Phytonadione.



...I wonder what the % in the moisturizer is? I've used that one for years, but it hasn't helped with scars! lol

as long as the inactive ingredients don't clog pores.. wait.. if they are inactive, do they do anything??

I don't know if that is accurate or not..

castor oil gets a score of 1.. which is a happy smily face.. which means it's ok

[december]

sodium chloride gets a 5.. which is the worst it can get in regard to comedogenicity

[december]

scarzone seems promising... the ingredients seem okay as far as comedogenicity is concerned... just my opinion based on some INTERNET RESEARCH
